Yes. Obviously the stewards should not be permitted to bet. The clerk of scales should not be permitted to bet. Jockeys and trainers should not be allowed to bet against their own horses in a race where they ride or train.

Basically, if you don't have the ability to alter the outcome of a race, you should be permitted to bet in good faith.
